Some textile designs

Just started playing with some of my illustrations as textiles. In September I'm going to be collaborating with a friend of mine who's a fashion and textile designer.
We plan on launching a small line using my prints.
Also remembered some t shirt designs I did for a friends line of kids clothing.

Edel Rodriguez

To continue my travel theme of the week I'm showing the work of Edel Rodriguez.
Originally from Cuba, he moved to the States with his family when he was 9. He received a B.F.A. in Painting from Pratt Institute in 1994 and an M.F.A. from Hunter College in 1998 and was an art director at TIME magazine from 1994-2008. On top of all that he has maintained a consistent illustration career.

His travel images of Cuba so beautifully capture the essence of his home country.
Check out a piece of his work at a group show at Giant Robot until August 12th.

More travel inspiration

Not sure if it's the travel posters from yesterday or the excitement of my imminent departure but I keep coming across great travel pictures.
First up is this great image. Sorry I can't find anything about it.

And then off to London with this one by Maxwell Holyoke-Hirsch from San Francisco.
Hope the weather is better when I get there.

Off on vacation

In 6 days time we go to Europe for nearly 3 weeks. I just can't wait; so excited to see my family. We start the vacation in South West France in the Dordogne where my family has had a house since 1969. It's from home to home and the children can run and explore all day long - truly magical.




Then after 10 days eating and drinking the most delicious things we head back to London for a week at my mum's new house.
I will try and keep up with my posts but it won't be every day.

I felt like the background color needed to be punchier so here's the new version.

Vintage Airline Posters

The golden age of glamorous flying is long past and in looking for inspiration for my India pictures I came across these wonderful posters.

New work

I've been slowly developing a new style or should I say tweaking things I've been working on for a while. I'm very happy with the results and would love to know your thoughts.
These illustrations are color versions of the project I'm doing with Matta. I can see these as a set of kid's books can't you ?
